AVELEDA SOLOS RANGE
Aveleda
Solos de Granito
DOC Vinho Verde
Soil:
Granite
Grapes:
Alvarinho
In Aveleda Solos de Granito, the grape variety Alvarinho shows precision and tension, shaped by the nature of this soil.
Poor and highly draining, granite forces the vine to work harder. From that restraint comes a more focused wine, where minerality and acidity stand out clearly.
Night harvesting preserves grape integrity, while stainless steel fermentation maintains aromatic precision and varietal purity. Firm and elegant, it reflects the character of granite in the Vinho Verde Region.
Discover the wine in all its richness: aromas, textures, and pairings that reveal its essence and personality.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Notes of citrus and white flowers, with a subtle minerality reminiscent of warm stone.
Palate: Fresh and enveloping, with balanced acidity, notes of mango and orange, and an earthy finish that reflects the soil.
Pairings
Pairs well with fish, chicken, and light vegetarian dishes, where the wine’s freshness and minerality enhance the texture and nuances of each dish.
Serving Suggestions
• Serve between 50°F and 54°F (10°C–12°C)

Through its deep understanding of terroir, Aveleda reveals how granite and schist give Alvarinho different depths and expressions.
